Overhearing the Gospel Quotes

“Boredom is a form of evil; perhaps one of Kierkegaard's characters was more correct when he said, "Boredom is the root of all evil." Boredom is a preview of death, if not itself a form of death, and when trapped in prolonged boredom, even the most saintly of us will hope for, pray for, or even engineer relief, however demonic.”

“Art is not a gift which a few people are given, but rather it is a gift which most people throw away.”
